not a roadmap, but areas that i plan to work on in 2026:

1) file transfer protocol rework - i am not sure if upload/download functions
still work properly using X/Y/Zmodem, etc, but this appears to be a bug that
bites us in a lot of areas (not just in the Transfer section). this is critical
for the QWK messaging for example, and in message upload/download, as well as
for the File section.

2) down in the weeds work on network sub subscribing/unsubscribing, autosend
foundations, blah.

3) file transfer area rework - not a big priority for me, but for completeness,
WWIV has to have a working file transfer area.

4) WWIV-web interface - not necessary, but would be fun to have, or even just a
JSTerm like thing. or a package WWIV sysops can just install and then have
their BBS accessible via a web browser easily.
